“…Tourism development is consequently reflected in the empowerment of women in a global business environment [40,41]. Namely, tourism presents both opportunities for gender equality and women's empowerment [42,43]. In this context, gender-sensitive policies are of key importance to ensure that women and men can equally benefit from a green(er) economy [1].…”

The aim of our research is to consider the potential for women’s empowerment through tourism and women’s equality inherent in the green economy. In addition, our research should shed more light on the women’s dimensions of green growth, especially in the context of development of entrepreneurship in tourism. In line with this, our approach in the study combines a women’s perspective with green growth and entrepreneurship development in the tourism sector in Serbia. The research was carried out in the most important tourist centers in the country, such as Novi Sad, Nis, Zlatibor, Vrnjačka Banja, and Sokobanja. This study showed that insufficient attention has been dedicated to this industry from the perspective of its benefits for women. In addition, the research indicated that, in the field of tourism, women mostly prefer special programs of education that are adjusted to the job requirements that they have already been performing or to a similar job that they are just about to start. It is necessary to involve them more often in various projects that encourage their further empowerment. The research also discovered gaps in the supply of finance between the needs of green entrepreneurs in tourism and what the financial system is willing to provide to them. Firstly, there is a lack of appropriate lending products offered by the commercial banking sector. In particular, a combination of financial support and suitable financial tools to encourage women’s initiatives for start-ups in tourism is missing.

“…In China, the following problems exist in rural tourism: weakness of high value-added industrial links, lack of impetus from core rural tourism enterprises, insufficient cooperation in rural tourism projects, single function of rural tourism industry, short industrial chains and insufficient localization of rural industrial chains [ 6 , 50 ]. Therefore, we should actively cultivate core rural tourism enterprises [ 51 ], strengthen the integration of the rural tourism industry chain [ 52 ], accelerate the localization of the rural tourism industry chain and strengthen regional cooperation in rural tourism [ 52 , 53 ]. The second is the study of rural tourism models and pathways.…”

The rural ecotourism system can be defined as a complex association of stakeholders. This system of rural ecotourism in relatively poor areas of China can influence rural revitalization strategies. The purpose of this study is to plan a rural ecotourism system among the tourism enterprises, local residents and government by using an evolutionary game theory. Based on the theoretical analysis, an evolution game model for the three stakeholders is developed and the evolution process of strategies is described by replicator dynamic equations. Then, a simulation method and case was used to analyze the stability of interactions among the stakeholders and determine an equilibrium solution in the finite rationality case. Finally, specific control strategies were proposed to suppress instability and an ideal evolutionarily stable strategy was obtained. This provides a theoretical basis for achieving a win-win situation among the three parties. The results of this study suggest appropriate roles for stakeholders in the rural ecotourism project that provide management implications for rural tourism activities, local economy and rural revitalization.

“…The second sub-topic in terms of environment is the "ecological environment". Studies related to "ecological environment" examine the relationship between rural tourism development and environmental protection from a sustainable rural tourism perspective [91][92][93][94][95][96], suggest the direction of development for strengthening the link between rural tourism and agriculture [39,[97][98][99], and also analyze communication strategies to drive rural tourism tourists toward green behavior [100][101][102].…”

This investigation reviewed articles associated with sustainable rural tourism found on the Web of Science database over a 10-year span from 2009 to 2019. The 76 articles that were selected for their inclusion of the concept of sustainable rural tourism were listed in a comprehensive table, thereby revealing the research purpose, topics, detailed topics, research methods, and data source of the articles. The findings indicate that many papers on sustainable rural tourism were written from a holistic sustainability perspective without being biased towards any one of the environmental, economic, and social aspects. In the field of rural tourism, it is essential to pay attention to interactions in all aspects of the environment, economy, and society, and to analyze them overall. In addition, this study confirmed that efforts to understand sustainable rural tourism from the customer perspective have been increased since customer loyalty is considered important for sustainability. This study is significant in that, since it evaluated the knowledge status for the first time through systematic review and applied content analysis to academic literature related to sustainability in the sector of rural tourism, it can expand and deepen the knowledge and understanding of related topics and raise awareness of a new research direction.
